MANILA, Sept. 17.—General Hughes has expelled the agents of Smith & Bell and Warner & Barnes from the island of Sa- | mar for rendering aid to the insurgents in Manila by buying hemp and other pro- | ducts, knowing that the money was go- | ing to the insurgents. The British Consul requested General Chaffee to suspend the order, but the general refused to do so, and the Consul has gone to Samar for the purpose of personally investigating the matter. General Funston is in the hospital suf- fering from appendicitis, He probably will be operated upon. Aguinaldo has written to Civil Governor Taft and Military Governor Chaffee, say- ing that he regrets, with the rest of the American nation, the great loss suffered by the people of the United States in the death of President McKinley. General Chaffee will recommend that Lieutenant Hazzard of the Third Cavalry be awarded a medal of honor for captur- ing Arthur Howard, the American de- serter, under exceedingly brave circum- starces. —_— Cancer Causes His Death.

He gave his name as John Carp, and demanded to see Governor Gage. by one of the secrétaries what he wanted of the Governor, Carp said he desired to see him in order to have Mrs. McKinley helped financially. He believed this could be done by having Grover Cleveland come to the front with his wealth to,.support the widow of the President. Detecting a baleful glimmer in the eye of the crank, and sensible of the dangers that lurk in the path of the great, the at- taches of the office refused his request and sent a hurry call to the police. Chief of Police Sullivan responded in person, and escorted the crank to the office of the Commission of Lunacy, where Dr. F. W.

Schmitz, president of the Musicians’ Union and leader of the Columbia Theater orchestra, was last night nominated for Mayor by the Union Labor party at its convention in Metro- politan Temple. His opponent was James | de Succa, an fronmolder and Insurance agent.

An amendment to ad- I substitute. - This and the original motion were finally voted down, and Chairman Millmore called for mnominations for Mayor. George F. Aubertine in a well worded speech placed Schmitz in nomi: ation amid great applause. The nomin- ation was seconded by J. S. Parry and a half dozen other delegates. Thomas F. Eagan placed De Succa in nomination, - referring to_his consistent career as a union man. His nomination received a number of seconds. Both men were called befcre the convention and Schmitz’s speech seemed to catch the fancy of the audience, for he was vigor- ously applauded. He was followed by De Succa, and eaca candidate was requested by delegates to give his views upon the Geary-street Rallroad franchise proposi- on. The roll call showed that Schmitz was a strong favorite all through and from the first led his opponent. The tellers announced the result to be Schmitz 144 and De Succa 9.

Mr. de Succa escorted his victorious rival to the platform and said he hoped the convention would make the nomina- tion equivalent to an election.

President Shaffer Refuses to Make Public the Terms of Agreement. | PITTSBURG, Sept. 17.—After taking !time to think it over, President T. J. Shaffer of the Amalgamated Association has announced that there will be no pub- lic statement of the terms of the settle- ment of the strike of his organizatioa with the steel corporation. He has also decided to issue a circular giving the {terms of the agreement on which the men were ordered to return to work, and after all the lodges have received it the circular will be made public. To-day the offices of the Amalgamated Association were more quiet and orderly than they have been for some weeks, the large majority of strikers having returned (g work. The men who thus far have refused to do so were meeting their fellow-work- ers and kept them away from the or- anization. | ~ The general condition of the mills of tke nited States Steel Corporation has im- proved during the past twenty-four hours !in a wonderful manner. It way an- nounced that nine of the twelve butt-weld furnaces and three of the six lap-weld furnaces of the National Tube Company in McKeesport were started to-day. The American Plate Company reports that ail | of its active plants except those in Atlan- ic, Indiana, Joliet, Ill., Johnstown, Pa., and Canal Dover, have been placed m operation. The last-named wil start as soon as sufficient tin bars can be pro- cured to supply the needs of the plants. In addition to these, four mills of the Star plant and four mills of the Monon- gahela plant are running, as well as eight mills in the Demmler plant and all the Monessen plant. The Newcastle and Shenango plants, with an aggregate capacity of finy mills, started to-day witn full crews, The American Sheet Steel Company to- | day started up its union plants. ere | will be no effort made to start the Can- ton (Ohio) sheet mills until after this | week owing to the funeral of President | MeKinley. All of the hoop plants are running full, The Newcastle plant of the Natlonal Steel Company started in full to-day. This was the first plant called out atter the ganeral strike order was issued. The Na | tional Steel plants fn Bellaire and Mingo | Junction are the only plants of that com pany_now idle. The Riverside plant of | the Natlonal Tube Company is the orly plant of that company now idle, Further trouble seems to be threatened | 1n the plants of the American Tin Plate | Company that have been conceded by | President Shaffer as non-union. The men in those plants take their defeat very hard, and many have determined to re- main idle or get other employment rather than go back as non-union men.
